[Buildroot] What to do about systemd/udev/eudev?

As a user working on an AM3517 project with buildroot, I am having
trouble seeing anything wrong with the existing implementation of
mdev. We have 802.11 and USB disks that are plugged in and removed and
the mdev subsystem seems to be working fine.

Having other alternatives is nice, but I hope we do not remove the
existing mdev which appears to work fine in embedded systems.
